RIP Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

RIP Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau.

I'm not a singer but I love listening to Lieder. Everyone always praises DFD's Schubert - ironically I always tend to prefer him other music, preferring a more artless approach to Schubert (but, please, do not read this as me disliking his Schubert!). But when it came to such composers as Hugo Wolf of Schumann, he was unparalleled. And he also did so much for little known Lied composers like Othmar Schoek (very much worth a listen IMO) and Liszt (of course well known for other music, but his Lieder are rarely heard). He was truly one of the greats. I am very sad to hear this news.
